Well welcome to youtube Chateau fans , Wow u have a beautiful Chateau looks to have a new roof on it too . Can not wait for up and coming videos .
Well thank you very much! One of our criteria when searching for a chateau was that the roof would be in reasonably good condition also the render, being the biggest cost when renovating a place like this, so we got lucky! I hope we will see you at the premiere of the next installment on this coming Sunday!
Claire and Lionel, lovely couple and lovely video! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your next one …
Thank you - we are just finishing the next one now :)
Love your energy. Two fun and wholesome people. Beautiful Chateau. Looking forward to seeing what you do
You are such lovely and authentic people! Could listen to your tour forever... And every house should have a cheese cupboard! ❤❤
Thats really lovely thank you - and I agree about the cheese cupboard!
have to confess that your cheese-cupboard made me turn a little green with envy 🧀😋
Happy to follow you on your adventures, you are a great couple and funny, you play off each other perfectly. Can’t wait to see you next video. ❤️
Thank you so much! Next one will be online very soon :)
@@OurChateauLife so looking forward to your next video. They are a complete joy to watch.
And once again thank you ❤️
Im so excited for this channel! Beautiful chateau, and a sense of humor...and nothing will ever be straightforward again, in terms of renovation anyways 😉
So pleased to hear this we were worried we were not being serious enough! 🙂 Episode 2 this Sunday, I think is funnier, enjoy it and we look forward to entertaining you!
Id love to have purple hair!!! This was a really good vlog, varied, diy, tour, interview, met your dog, a little history...Im subbed and thumbs up!!!!

So excited about seeing another couple and adventures involving a beautiful chateau

@@OurChateauLife absolutely, it was wonderful starting off with the introduction about you both. Purple hair and all.
Looking forward to watching the restoration
Thank you - it make take us awhile!
New subscriber and I loved your introduction. You are very relatable. I find when I watch channels I must like the people otherwise I can't watch. I'm looking forward to further episodes.
Thats lovely of you to say, thank you :)
Yes a new chateau channel ❤ adding to my subscriptions ! The place is beautiful ! Good luck. Look forward to the progress.
Welcome aboard! And thank you, make sure , if you can, to join us for the next episode premier on Sunday 🙂
Yes - it is a beautiful chateau. Good luck with all your projects.
Thank you so much!
Lovely château. What are your plans for the château? Will you be hosting guests eventually or will this remain a private residence?
Thank you. We plan to keep it as a private home but we would like to occasionally have events in the garden and the courtyard- perhaps a summer concert or music weekend. Open to ideas!
Oh you two are the funniest duo; I can see why you were attracted to each other. A life without laughter is no life at all! I look forward to enjoying your next posting. Thanks so much (in the US, there usually is no cheese course, unfortunately and we eat salad first instead of last -- Julia Child taught us how to cook; not so much how to eat properly).
Thank you so much. I like the idea of salad first but you are really missing out on the cheese! :)
Oh my heck, the funniest moment! “ I used to be goth but now I think about curtains”😂.
Thank you! Maybe I should keep a bit of goth and do black curtains everywhere??
so great! love the chateau!
Thank you - we can't wait to make it truly beautiful again!
Thank YOU for sharing your history....You guys are awesome...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your Chateau...LOVE from Chicago
We appreciate your support so much! Thanks for watching :)
Lionel and Claire, your warmth, your humour, your charm and love for each other just jumps off the screen and I was instantly captivated! (It probably didn't hurt that Lionel seems to have the joie de vie of my late partner.😉) Your chateau looks charming already so I am excited to delighted to hitch a ride with you. Woohoo!
Thats such a lovely think to say thank you :)
Hello, what is the name of your chateau?
Chateau de la Vergne - we are in the Vendee region
@@OurChateauLife thank you, nice to know and all beautiful, happy for you, I shall follow your adventures
What a dear and charming addition to the chateau vlogs that I can't get enough of. Cheers!
Thank you, we have so much planned that we can share, next episode this Sunday, all the best Lionel & Claire
Hello and nice to meet you. I look forward to following your journey. You both have kind and fun personalities. I bet there will be amazing gardens.
In France they call our grounds 'Un Parc Anglais' an English park, so it's less flower gardens more lots of lawn, much to my chagrin! We have plans though! But budget is in the way 🙂 thank you for your lovely words, hope to see you on Sunday for the next episode and a chateau chat later today, thanks for watching
I've just added you to my Chateau life. I am looking forward to getting to know you and follow you around your lovely Chateau as you begin to make it your own. I wish you well.
Fantastic,👍 thank you, that is one thing you can be sure of, getting to know us, we hope to lighten the mood for all our viewers, I hope you will enjoy episode 2 out on Sunday, if you can please join us for the premiere, all the very best

Thats so lovely, thank you
looking forward to a lot of reno- and DIY vlogs
We have a lot to do! Thanks for watching :)
Lol in the states we have cheese as an appetizer, or as a cheese and wine.
We usually have have dessert as the last. Though I’m different as I will have salad after the main course as it helps digestion. 😂
Oooh cheese as an appetiser - thats a good idea - we should do that at our next dinner party to confuse our French friends :)
@@OurChateauLife absolutely love cheese, it doesn’t love me, but I’m a bit obsessed soo. Lol I think you should do what you want, because it will be perfect, for you and for your very grateful guests ❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant!!! Well done!!!
Thank you!

Take care, God Bless and nice to meet you both. 😇🙏🏰

congratulations! You are off to a great start. Found you via @theintrepidchatelaine. I think everyone has a story worth listening to, thank you for sharing yours. I also love that you have lived in your château without rushing to finish off rooms. You seem to have a well balanced living the dream/creating the dream approach. À suivre...
